The Importance of Learning a Foreign Language
Unlike in the United States, in many countries, children are taught more than one language from a young age. People grow up knowing how to speak two, three, even four languages, while most Americans are monolingual. Being multilingual in this increasingly globalizing world is a very important skill. It can help you when you travel, conducting international business, even dealing with foreign immigrants in the United States.

Having that language skill under your belt can be way more beneficial than you could imagine.
